THE NEW oaFssBY PARTY

just now poliiiciansin this section
are carefully studying the probable
effect of the new party which has
sprung up in Ormsby to compete
with the Mugwumps for the crank
vote.
At the last city election the Mug
wumps got one vote for their leader,
and Dublin Mary also got one vote.
just now it is hard to exactly class
ify the Dublin Mary party, for the
shrewdest political guessers in
Ormsby are at a loss to know
whether it Is a purely st. Patrick 5
party or woman's sufffage propo-
sition disguised as Hiberian Re
form movement
Whatever it i it has more solid
weight than the Mugwump party,
because its chief exponant, Dublin
Mary, is taxpayer aud land owner
in Ormsby and entitled to due con-
sideration.
The question now arises: VIII
the Mugwumps fight the new party
represented by Dublin Mary? VIII
it yield to it? or, if it falls out of the
fight will it seek an alliance with
the Democrats who declined it last
Fall, or with the Republicans who
have declined it several falls.
Again, there are whispers in the
air that Dublin Mary has pie
thoric sack hidden away somewhere
in her broad acres, which in case of
hot contest might turn the scales
of victory.
Whichever way the cat jumps In
1888, the Mugwumps must settle
down to the proposition that it has
a new factor in politics to contend
with.

THE sNTEs:-sTATE ACT.

Judge Schoonoyer, one of the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
passed through Pittsburg on his
way to New York, and expressed
himself freely on the Interstate
law. He stated that he could not
tell much about the workings OF the
act, as the long and short haul
clause had been suspended tempo
rarily in the South. The object of
the Commission in going South was
to take testimony to show whether
the suspension of section four
should be continued.
When asked if it appeared to him
that the new law is having an in
furious effect upon Pacific Coast
shipments, as had been reported, he
replied in the negative, and said:
1.-THE greatest clamor ever heard
comes from California. Why,
those people claim they can't ship
fruit. There is nothing in the law
to prevent anyone in the East from
making rates to or from the Pacific
Coast, providing they don't ship to
intermediate points. Complaints
regarding Pacific Coast shipments
are exaggerated. There is nothing
In the law that will hurt California
business as claimed"
The trouble with San Francisco
is that her shippers want rates to
and from the East, two-thir6s less
than what the people of Nevada
have to pay, and to influence pub
lie sentiment they allege that the
Inter State law, which only provides
that rates shall be reasonable and
that no more shall be charged for a
short haul than for long haul over
the same line, will cripple the fruit,
wine, wool and salmon industries OF
the Pacific Coast.
In plain words, the protest of the
San Francisco merchants against
the long and short haul clause of
the act means that unless Nevada
pays three times as much for
frelghts to and from the East as
San Fran cisco, several California
industries will be ruined. If the
merchants are right, and the sue
cess of their industries depends up
on unfair discrimination against
the which is too lmprob-
able TO deserve serious considera-
ton, then they ought to be killed.
The prosperity of Nevada is of as
great interest to its people as the
prosperity of San Francisco is to
its citizens. and when the latter at
tempt to influence the Interstate
Commerce Commission against Ne
vada, the people of this State should
protest.-Siiver State.

A CHILO'S SKIN,

Eczematous Scabs and Sores
Cured by Cuticura.

NY little son. aged eight years, has been afflicted
III with Eczema Of the scalp, and al times great
portion OF the body, since he was two ears
OLD. 1t began in his ears, and extended TO his
scalp which be- anne covered with scabs and cores,
and from which q sticky fluid pours out, causing
intense itct ing and distress and leaving his hair
matted and lifeless. Underneath these seabs the
skin was raw like piece of be- fsteak. Gradn-
ally the hair came out and was destroyed, until
but small patch left at the back of the head.
